State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Petar Koprivica will not be responsible for endangering the safety of the Director of the Directorate for Normative Affairs Iva Vukoslavčević, nor will she be prosecuted for false reporting.
This was decided by the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, rejecting the charges filed by Vukoslavčević and Koprivica.
"Both of the mentioned cases ended with the dismissal of the criminal charges, against person IV for the criminal offense of false reporting, and against person PK for the criminal offense of endangering security," writes the responses of the Podgorica ODT, which is managed by the prosecutor. Dusko Milanović.
However, the ODT did not answer the question of whether they will review the responsibility of the acting prosecutor, who already on September 10, just a few hours after Vukoslavčević's report, ordered the police to file a report against her for false reporting.
According to Vukoslavčević's report, that day in Koprivica's office, the secretary belittled her, insulted her and physically pushed her away.
She stated that she had endured mobbing and pressure for months, and that that morning, around 7.50:XNUMX a.m., Koprivica's secretary conveyed an invitation to report to his office.
During that meeting, as she claims, they discussed official issues, when Koprivica asked her to change the earlier statement she submitted to the minister Danilo Šaranović. To her refusal, she described, Koprivica reacted with insults and threats that "she will no longer be an assistant minister, that she is rude and other disparaging qualifications"...
When the Director of the Directorate replied that he could not talk to her in that way, Koprivica began, as she stated in the report, to shout at her, and then he grabbed her shoulders with both hands and pushed her roughly...
After the incident, she went to her office, where she anxiously and under great stress told her colleagues what she had experienced in the office of the State Secretary of the MUP.
Due to the state of shock and great anxiety, the head of the MUP also sought medical help, and submitted the report of a specialist doctor in the report.
She asked the Police Administration to protect her from Koprivica, because the unpleasant event caused her "a great feeling of anxiety, fear and discomfort".
Shortly thereafter, Koprivica publicly denied her accusations, claiming that the report was "false" and politically motivated, but also caused by the announcement of changes in the systematization of jobs.
He pointed out that he requested her statement due to the omissions in the work that affected the delay of the working group for the proposal of amendments to the Law on Traffic Safety, which, according to him, was the reason for, as he said, the "pre-election affair" created by Vukoslavčević.
Then he announced that he had filed a criminal complaint against her for false reporting.
Less than 24 hours later, the Police Directorate announced that the prosecutor had ordered them to file a false report against Vukoslavčević. However, ODT Podgorica has spoken out, stating that the decision has not yet been made because the investigation procedure is ongoing.
Two hours later, the UP again sent a statement to the media, in which they wrote that their officers, in the case related to the reports of Vukoslavčević and Koprivica, acted solely on the instructions and orders of the acting state prosecutor.
At that time, they also clarified that, after denying them, the ODT contacted the police officer who acted in that case on the orders of the acting prosecutor and ordered him "not to act as the prosecutor ordered, but to submit the case files for evaluation and opinion, and that he would the decision to be made after the scouting procedure has been carried out".
"Officials of the Police Administration made official notes on the method of obtaining instructional measures and actions and binding orders," the police statement reads.
